A wildfire continued burning in the Las Pulgas area of Camp Pendleton late Thursday night.

The fire, which is now at 4,000 acres and zero containment, broke out near a sewage plant and prompted the evacuation of personnel.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Meantime, a juvenile and an adult were arrested Thursday night for trying to start a fire in san diego’s escondido area.

Police officials could not say if the pair were involved in setting any other fires in San Diego County.

“We have a couple people in custody. We don’t know what this will lead to in terms of other fires,” said Lt. Escondido Police Department Neal Griffin. “But certainly in this case, a fire that could have started off at Kit Carson Park was immediately extinguished, and we have the suspects in custody.”

SAN MARCOS, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters working on Southern California wildfires have found a badly burned body in a transient camp.

The city of Carlsbad said the body was found Thursday while firefighters were checking hotspots on a fire that began a day earlier. The city says it had no information about person who died.

It appears to be the first death in fires throughout the San Diego region that have destroyed eight homes, an 18-unit apartment complex and two businesses.

The body was found shortly before all evacuation orders were lifted in Carlsbad, a city of 110,000 people 30 miles north of San Diego.

“It was really terrifying. I was just thinking about my dogs at home, ‘How am I going to get home?’” said a neighbor. “I was worried about my neighbors, you know, just all the families down here. It was just really bad.”

Bob Payne was just 45 minutes away from his home when the fire swept down a hillside and engulfed it in flames.

“Some friends called and said they seen your house burning on TV, so we came here as soon as we can, but it was gone it was too late by then,” said Payne.

There’s a bit of good news for firefighters: The forecast calls for cooler temperatures and lighter winds.
